American Eleanor Shellstrop has just passed away, her spirit's final resting place being "the good place" (as opposed to "the bad place" where most go after they die). Spirits in the good place live in specially designed neighborhoods - Michael being the architect of Eleanor's neighborhood - with a small group of the best of other good spirits. All spirits are paired with soul mates, Eleanor's being a Senagalese ethicist named Chidi Anagonye. The entire situation is meant to be paradise for the residents, but this Eleanor Shellstrop is not the Eleanor Shellstrop Michael believes her to be, this Eleanor was selfish and self-absorbed, an attitude she takes into the good place. Based partly on what little she knows about the bad place, Eleanor wants to stay in the good place, which means that she is constantly looking over her shoulder so as not to be caught as a fraud, specifically by Michael. She also wants to turn her attitude around so that she deserves to be there, which she hopes to do with the help of her soul mate. But if Eleanor does not belong in the neighborhood, what else could be wrong with the good place?

Eleanor believes she's reached a true breakthrough in that she did a good deed without even thinking about it before she did it. As such, she is buoyed by Chidi's lessons, thinking that they are paying off for her, which leads her to want even more and more of his time, which is almost all devoted to her already. Conversely, Chidi is feeling that Eleanor is monopolizing his time, instead of he being able to enjoy paradise as he thought he was supposed to in the good place. This incompatibility in priorities leads to bad feelings between the two, who want to split up in private, but maintain their soul mate personae in public. That becomes difficult when Michael issues a directive where no one is allowed outside, leaving Eleanor and Chidi confined to her house together until the directive is lifted. What makes matters worse is that Michael asks if Eleanor's neighbors, Bart and Nina, can stay with her and Chidi temporarily, which may place their already strained relationship under the microscope of marriage counselor Nina and "lie detecting" Bart. The directive by Michael is because the sink hole, which he still does not know the reason behind, is not fixing itself like it should be, and is a danger to the neighborhood until he both figures out the cause and how to fix it. And Tahani secretly gains access to the goodness ranking of all the spirits in the neighborhood. Not liking her ranking, she takes what she believes are measures to move up the ranking.

Eleanor has just died and her spirit has arrived at its final resting place. In her first conversation with Michael, the spirit who designed the "neighborhood" which will be her home in the afterlife, he tells her some key pieces of information about the afterlife in general and where she has ended up, including that the concepts of heaven and hell are not exactly accurate, but rather that there is a bad place where most end up, while only a handful of who were the most selfless on earth end up in the good place, where she is. The good place is designed to provide total happiness for its residents, including a residence specifically designed for his or her likes, and being paired with another spirit who is truly a soul mate, that spirit for Eleanor being who was a Senegalese man named Chidi Anagonye. Another important spirit in the good place is Janet, a non-judgmental but ever knowing spirit who can appear at a moment's notice and will provide almost any information requested. After Michael reviews Eleanor's life with her, she decides to confide in Chidi an issue which will definitely affect what happens to her in the good place. The fact of Eleanor being in the good place also has profound effects on her surroundings.
